STON E, are a certain cure-for that most painful and distressing complaint the Stone and Gravel, in all its various forms, as lumbago, arid excruciating pain in the bowels.— This isease is known to proceed from a faulty secretion in the kidneys, conneded with the weaknesses of their vessels. The use of Hickman's Pills, by bracing these organs, restore the secretion of the urine to a healthy state, and prevents the farther produdion of that matter which forms stone and gra vel. It is from success in private practice, and at theistrong recommendation of numbers who have been cured by them that they are brought before the Public, and experience, will convince every one of their unparalleled efficacy against this fatal disorder.

Lord HOLLAND rose, pursuant to notice, to re call the attention of their Lordships to the Address adopted by that. House,. and' the detision they had Come to in 1806, respecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade. In that Address his Majesty was re quested to instruct the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to take measures, in conjun&ion with other Foreign States, for the generalabolition of that inhu man and odious trade. A period of more than three years had since elapsed, but scarcely any thing has "during 'that time been heard of what progress was making-towards the accomplishment of that desir able end. This was a subject which . should not,he . alldwed to sleep. Sweden, at the time that the Ad dress was moved, had but narrow means of carrying on that trade. They had since, however, consider ably increased. With Spain and Portugal, our in fluence at the present moment should naturally be great, and therefore it should be taken advantage of to accelerate the attainment of an object which we solemnly professed to have so much at helm More, however, could be done to that effect with the United States of America, than_ with any other Power, and he trusted the opportunity' of the present negociations for touching on that subject would, not be negleeled. It should be made the reciprocal ob jed and material interest of those two Governments. We should declare to America that we would put in force all -the penalties enaded against that trade, and that we-should con 4 ..scate.every ship discovered. to be employed in it. America should be brought to adopt, and aet upon, the same regulation, and in the execution of it, • the two Governments .should lend each other their mutual sepport. For if, -as he trusted, the Slave Trade lee: been proved to be con trary to j ust ice and humanity, then it must be contrary to the Law of Nations. But surely there never was a moment when the Law of Nations ought more vigilantly, to be attended to, and more strictly observed, than the present. It was upon the.violation or the observance of that law, that every thing seemed now to turn. What would be thought Of this country, in what light, would the decision- of the British Legis lature be considered, if, after, having adopted mea sures so 'serious and solemn for the'abolitiran Of the Slave Trade, we should afterwards seem to forget that- we had ever entered into those grave resolu tions ? The object of his present motion was .to pre vent such asupposition, and to ascertain what steps had been taken, by his Majesty's Government for carrying the object of the Address of that House into execution. His Lordship concluded with mov-. ing an humble Address to his Majesty, praying that there be laid before the - House copies or ex- , tracts of several representations, and the answers thereto,- which had been made to the Ministers Of different Foreign Statesirespecting the Abelition.of the Slave Trade. - The Earl of LIVERPOOL' was reedy to confess that the Address presented to his Majesty on this sub ject . was very forcible . and solemn, and that un doubtedly. it ought most seriously to be attended to; he should therefore offer no objections to the Address moved by the Noble Lord. Lord HOLLAND'S motion was therefore agreed to. without any opposition. FOREIGN EXPEDI TIONS. .Lord DARNLEY rose to make his promised Mo tion respe&ing the sending abroad of men of, the regular force of the kingdom. His Lordship began by taking a retrospective view of the present Admi nistration, of the coati& of the men who have been in power in this country since the fatal battle of Austerlitz. Then ended, in his opinion, all hopes of the restoration of the independence of Eu rope. Yet, by a blind fatality, the . Government of this country continued to . embark in wild enter prises for the accomplishment of an objeal which had so long become hopeless. Accordingly tilt!) , failed in all their Expeditions; or if they succeeded in one (the Expedition against Copenhagen), the success was overbalanced by the disgrace of the achievement. It might be said of the tenor and character of their Expeditions, that they were " Monstrurn nulla virtute redempturn avitus." They crowned all t hese heroic Expeditions by the last, that to Walcheren, of which he should now take but little notice, trusting that the c on d o & of those who framed and executed that Expedition would be brought before their Lordships in.a more solemn manner. He could not, however, but ob serve, that of the whole of the military .force em ployed in that Expedition, not one half remained fit for service.. This would appear from the late re turns. Yet it was, after the fruitless sacrifice of so many brave men, after the wild and unavailing pro fusibn of so much blood and treasure, that Ministers [PRICE SIXPENCE HALPPENgr. were.nbw preparingato drain the ;country of t? e small regular force that yet remained for its delete . He was sort) , our gallant army had not a mor e et ' e , advocate - than he pretended to be; hut seeing - t' e cOnduEt of Ministers in the light in which Ire he could not but conjure that House to interpose, and rescue the remains' of our. brave army from tl e sacrifice to which the folly an I intatnatiee of M nisters were pressing tri doom them.' The report of .their intention to send on foreign service all the re maining reg u la r B r i t i s h troops i n t h e kingderes --s too general not to have some foundation. How far it was founded in ~.fad he wished to be explained. 1e wished, moreover, to ascertain what were our remaining resources for the internal defence of the, -country ? It might be objected to his motion that it would be conveying improper information to the enemy. He did not believe it would afford the enemy more informaticei than he was already in Possession of. He believed, indeed, the enemy knew full as much as Ministers of the internal . sitUae lion of the country,, a n d th a t perhaps would 1: ct •be knowing much. For .afer the gross and shameful ignorance of which they have been convi&ed in the framing oltheir expeditions, it was not easy to ima . gine they could be in possession of any correct infora mation. The country should not: be kept in the dark, when its most vital interests were at stake. He should therefore move an humble Address to his Majesty, praying .he would be graaiotesly pleased to give diretitions that there be laid beforethar House. a return of the amount of the regular military fori.e now in these kingdom's. • Lord MouNT36y - expressed his surprjse at the Wide range .whiCh the speech of the Nohte Lord Rita taken. He had gone hick to what hail happened ' previous to. the death of that immortal, Statesnia (Mr. Pitt), and to what took place subsecoetit that melancholy event. It surely was not surpciss ing, that the loss of such a man' should have un hinged any Administration. His 'colleagues had felt the weight of that loss, and not knowing how to repair it,. yielded their places under that dejec tion. He would not now canvass the tmasures of -their successors; or make any invidious comparison between their conduct and that of his Majesty's pre sent Ministers. Perhaps the less that conduct was inquired into the better it would be for the Nchie Lords on the other side of the House: Butte would not agree with ihe Noble Lord thit"'Phelivk s of our soldiers had in any -of the Expeditions alluded to, been sacrificed in vain. Had they not afforded the opportunity of proving to the world, and of ie. viving the glory of the intrepid valour, the ardent : spirit, and the steady discipline of British troops . ? Was not that in itself a most brilliant and important result ? Neither could he agree witla the Noble L6rd. that our'loss .had been so great in the Scheldt expedition as bad been represented, orthat theconii try would be left so bare of men as the Noble Lord seemed to insinuate. According to the Medical Re ' ..port, must of. the men who had returned sick from, Walcheren, would b e a bl e to resume actual service by the months of May and June. They would coo-- sequently be in a condition to supply theplace of these troops which it might be the intention of Go vernment to send abroad There were objeols of high interest at stake—undoubtedly no opportunity should be omitted of assisting and encouraging the Spaniards and. Portuguese, whenever they made a stand, and• seemed resolved to resist the common enemy. If the troops - were destined for the defenc e of Cadiz, where'could it be more desirable to ems ploy them. than in the last hold of Spanish indepen dence, than in a spot where the loyal Spaniards may have deposited their remaining treasure, and which, in cak: of an unavailing defence, we may aid them in rescuing from the gripe of a raps cious enemy ? He saw no possible- danger .ahat could arise from sending- this force abroadesiwhile it would be adinga in "conformity with *the pledge We had given to Spain, and in unison with the spirit which first prompted this country to espouse the cause of the Spanish patriots. In that view he would give his vote against the motion of the Noble . Lora, The Marquis of .Dowsrsurae supported the mo , lion in a maiden speecha He particularly objedeci to drawing mere men from Ireland. He believed that at the present moment there were not in that part of the empire more than three or four thousatei regular troops: Was that a sufficient force to se cure it against any sudden incursion that might be made into thdt Country) Those among their Lord ships whO, like himself,were interested the tate Of Ireland, should seriously attend to that cireurn • stance. Why were not_men of the German troops employed on foreign expeditions ; was it that they could not be trusted , and that more reliance was. placed in the steadiness and fidelity of the British troops ? Whatever was the reason, it was galling. to the feelings of the country, to see their brave countrymen taken from the defence of their native soil, perhaps to be uselessly sacrificed in the suppoi of.a foreign cause. He must again entreat their • Lordships_ to look to the state of Ireland, and they 'would then see theitnpolicy of sending more tt eeps abroad. , • - On the question beingput, LOrd DARNLEY' complained that none of his Majesty's Ministers had taken any notice of the arguments which he had used iu support• of the motion. Lord HARROWBY thought n the ; objeaions which the Noble Lord Lad hiinself anticipated to his mo tion were quite of, force enough toincluce him to oppose it. He suaeryssateld not seriously ihsink of having such information es the motionedlied fo Lid before the public under the present.. circumstances of the country. The question was then put on Lord Darnley's motion, and negatived without, a division.
